Storm Shadow is considered an ideal weapon for penetrating fortified bunkers and ammunition depots


Kiev: Ukraine has attacked Russia for the first time with the British Storm Shadow missile.
According to media reports, Ukraine has used the British-made Storm Shadow missile to hit military targets inside Russia for the first time.
According to the report, US President Biden has also allowed Ukraine to attack Russia with American missiles.
It is pertinent to note that a few days ago, after American permission, Ukraine fired six US ballistic missiles at a Russian military installation.
Ukraine says that to defeat Russian air attacks, it needs to use long-range missiles, including Storm Shadow, including American Atacs that can attack up to 300 kilometers.
According to media reports, US-made missiles were used in the attack on Bryansk. On this occasion, the Russian air defense system shot down five missiles, while the sixth missile was damaged. The debris fell into the premises of the military installation and caught fire, which was controlled, but there were no casualties from the missile attacks.
What is the Storm Shadow missile?
According to a British media report, the Storm Shadow is an Anglo-French cruise missile that can cover a maximum distance of about 250 kilometers. The French call it a ‘scallop’, and it is launched from an aircraft.
It flies to its target at almost the speed of sound and then detonates its ‘warhead’ (the part of the missile that contains explosives) before falling.
The Storm Shadow is considered an ideal weapon for penetrating fortified bunkers and ammunition depots, such as the missiles that Russia used in its war against Ukraine.
A Storm Shadow missile costs about $1 million, so before using them, cheap drones are used, which can weaken the enemy's air defenses and use up more of its ammunition to combat the drones, just like Russia does with Ukraine.
Storm Shadow has been used effectively in the past, with this missile targeting the Russian naval headquarters in the Black Sea in Crimea, after which Crimea was declared dangerous for the Russian Navy.
